Grant landed on SI’s Biggest Snubs list and for good reason – he’s made a big jump over the last three years since being traded to Oklahoma City.

Entering his sixth season, and his first with the Denver Nuggets, Grant has revamped his game into a small-ball power forward that guards multiple positions at a high level. His incredible athleticism and improved shooting have made him a nightmare matchup for most bigs.

As recently as four years ago, Grant was a small forward who didn’t seem to have the ball skills to stick in the league. Moving to a new position changed everything. Once he started playing power forward, Grant’s bounce and mobility—impressive by any standard—worked to exaggerated effect. There aren’t many bigs who can move like Grant, or even that many who shoot (39.2% from three last season) like him. Grant is 25-years-old and already one of the NBA’s great developmental success stories.

In more Orange basketball news, it’s already preview season and NunesMagician is a good place to start.

Syracuse lost a lot (Frank Howard, Tyus Battle, Oshae Brissett, Paschal Chukwu) from last year’s roster, but also returns a solid core to pair with a promising recruiting class.

Head on over to Nunes to get a full breakdown of what to expect from the Orange this season.
